Why can't I give "Helpful" to my opponents? (not sarcasm)

The definition given by the system is "Any summoner who helped you learn more about champions, abilities, items or strategies on the Fields of Justice."... an enemy Kayle just taught me how lifesteal interacts with her ultimate, why can't I give her helpful for that (I was previously of the understanding it was like Tryndamere)?

Also, somewhat related, I think you need different words for "helpful" with regards to "teamwork". Perhaps, "Knowledgeable" or "Resourceful"? Listening to my premades saying "And I'l give you helpful, because you helped us win but having no assists means it wasn't teamwork!".

In my opinion-- I've been helped out more by enemy teams than my own team 7 times out of 10. I go mid 80% of my games. And if I find a champ I am not that familiar with, I'll ask for some info after kills/deaths. Usually they'll fill me in. Same goes for the time that I lost my health bars and couldn't find the toggle key. The enemy team filled me in whilst my team just ignored me for 10 minutes.. So yeah. Often times the enemy team is nicer.

I, myself, usually try to be a good sport. I make recommendation on builds for champions I play a lot, and particularly in Dominion: I'm always giving pro-tips to Akalis and Evelynns that neutral towers provide true sight as well as hostile towers. Oh, and how "you can't feed in Dominion!"... because I get a good feeling inside defending my enemy from bring accused of feeding in a game mode where you can't feed (if you don't believe me, look at the gold graphs after any game...).
